Weekly Writing Contest!

It is that time again: an update on the most recent opportunity to win books from inkpop.com!

This week's Weekly Writing Contest is running in accordance with Melissa Marr's Darkest Mercy. It takes her Wicked Lovely series another step forward, this time sizzling with conflict. I don't have many more details on the book because I'm planning on getting a chance to read the series and don't want spoilers! Lol. But, it looks awesome! ;)

Your challenge is to write a short story or poem that involves conflict resolution. Now, I think that might be one of the toughest prompts, as it is kind of dry. So I want y'all to sparkle them with your imaginations and writing genius, okay?! For my details on how to win and where to submit go here.

Also, Josephine Angelini, the author of the YA Greek mythology retelling Starcrossed, will be paying a visit to Inkpop for a Live Chat on Wednesday, May 25th! Make sure to stop by and ask your Q's! Find out more here!

Have fun, and be back here on Monday for a new review!

Reckless is a YA fantasy adventure by the ever-revered (for good reason) Cornelia Funke.

Jacob Reckless has been passing through a mirror portal in his father's forgotten (or, rather, ignored) study for years now. After his father disappeared and his mother became a shell of her former self, he found it. Since then, it's been hard to stay tethered to his world - instead, he's become more and more connected to the alternative option.

In fact, he's managed to make a name for himself as a treasure hunter. And always by his side is a loyal vixen named Fox, a shape-shifter. She's probably the closest thing he has to a friend - but Jacob still considers himself a loner. But he's become comfortable with the different creatures, monsters, and magic this world has to offer - even though right now they are at war with a stone people called Goyl. None of that interests him. He just seeks out his mysterious objects and fetches good prices.

Real Live Boyfriends is a YA contemporary novel by E. Lockhart, and the fourth novel in the Ruby Oliver quartet.

Here we are on the last day of “Ruby Oliver Week” and if you aren’t already reading these books – well, why not?

But I’m more than sure most of you are – and hopefully you’re all caught up, and therefore not at risk of being spoiled by my review of Real Live Boyfriends. You’ve been warned!

Ruby Oliver is beginning her senior year of high school with a real live boyfriend: Noel.

At least she thought she was.

After having spent the rest of junior year and the beginning of summer being fully in love (okay, they never actually said the word, but the vibes were strongly in that direction), Ruby is now confused.

Again.

When Noel went to visit his brother in New York for a while, almost every day they talked on the phone and exchanged funny emails. She never once felt insecure.

Until all of a sudden – communication stopped. Ruby would call and he wouldn’t answer. She’d leave a voice mai…

S.O.S. is the third and final book in Gordon Korman's middle-grade Titanic trilogy.

This is the third book in a trilogy, book addicts! You must, I repeat, must read the first two books (Unsinkable and Collision Course) before you read this review. Otherwise you are just going to ruin all the twists! Sure, we know the Titanic sinks - but the surprises that are revealed about our characters, among other things, should not be spoiled!

But all of you that have read the first two books (which I hope are many of you, because this a great series), can rest assured that I won't spoil anything from S.O.S. itself - just a basic recap and my opinion.

Here goes:

The Titanic is sinking. No one wants to believe it, but the bow is almost imperceptibly starting to dip into the freezing Atlantic Ocean - and our four main characters are thrown into a race for survival.

Paddy is locked up below deck, having finally been caught as a stowaway. In one cell over are the very criminals that wish him dead…

Note to Authors, Publishers, & Publicists

I love to read and review books and have been doing it for years (before my blog I also participated in Reader Review programs, etc.) so if you'd like to send me a book and get my thoughts posted on this blog or if you'd like me to have a contest involving your book(s), please email me at: BibliophileAngie@comcast.net. I'd be flattered, and most certainly interested!!! However, I don't read e-books and I almost never read nonfiction. :)

Awesome Followers!

my read shelf:

What Do I Read?

My favorite genre tends to be YA, with an extra special love for fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, and supernatural. But I also enjoy almost all genres of YA, middlegrade, and adult fiction, including action/adventure, murder mystery, historical fiction, thrillers, romance, comedy, chick-lit, and contemporary. I'm a fiction gal, through and through.
